Do you post oppers save tons on food now, or are you spending more with protein supplements etc?

I spend less than I did pre-op even with my protein supplements. Partially because I have less take aways and when I do eat out I eat cheaper dishes! I have gotten my food budget down for the entire house since I don't by junk food anymore, used to always have crisps and sweets in the house. Now, we eat home cooking more often since it is cheaper and better for me. I can also put away many portions of leftovers for myself that would have been picked at after the meal and probably never made it to the fridge. I have basically cut my own food costs to a third of what they were, and with added protein supps I still save somewhere between 1/3 and 1/4 which immediately goes for clothes, lol!

I still have to shop for the rest of the family but have noticed since my band op I don't seem to shop as much. Maybe because I'm not cooking 3 different meals for the family now as well. If they don't have what I've cooked now they have to get their own so 99% of the time they eat what I've done lol.Before I would cook different meals for hubby and daughter and me and 2 sons would have the same lol.
